Had a gathering at Ole-ole Bali Sunway Pyramid with PM and other girls whom I used to dance with in UG.....like years ago.

heehe.....it was nice to see everyone again after more than 1 year.

It was a short gathering but a nice one together with the instructor who taught us,

Here are the things we had.....some tropical fruit smoothies.

I can no longer remember the name of this dish, but those chicken satay were lovely! They're my favourite among the 3. Then there's fried squid and chicken wings. Great for sharing as the portion is huge.

Next was a balinese style paste with seafood. Interesting flavours as it taste nothing like other pastas.

Balinese style mixed rice served with a portion of vege and a HUGE piece of chicken.

Well, basically the portion for everything was huge, so it's great for sharing among friends.

It was the first time I tried Ole-ole Bali. The interior design is pretty neat and this place is good for big eaters or having gatherings.

Should've posted these long ago, but I haven't been blogging for 4 months!

So here they are~~~

When I heard that cuzzie was coming back for cny from melb, I quickly asked if she's hear of Cacao Fine Chocolate and Pattisserie. I have read on blogs that they sell some of the best macarons.

And lucky for me, cuzzie knew the place and she very nicely bought some back for me!!! :D

Yummy macarons~ Ever since I've tried the ones my friend brought back from London, macarons that I can get locally just doesn't satisfy me anymore.

But these.....they were heavenly! They have the qualities of what a good macaron should have.....crunchy on the outside, but not break apart when you bite into it. Then the insides should just melt nicely inside your mouth.......oooo........I wish to have some now too!

Cuzzie also got me some interesting flavours and mix'n'match like chocolate, raspberry, passion fruit, blueberry, coffee.....I no longer remember what is what now.....but all were delicious!

Even after the long plane ride back, they still taste great, so imagine what would it be like to have some there?

Today a lab mate talked to me about dreams for the future. She asked if I like what I was doing and if I could see myself doing it for life?

Recently she has been influenced by friends who have been doing really well and who are extremely inspirational. So she's been reading a lot of motivational books and self-learning books. It's nice to see her so motivated to learn new things and to upgrade her skills. At the same time, she has got me thinking too.

Though I usually think of all these things too, but it's nice to talk to someone about it.

At present, it's sad that my future looks blury because I cannot see the light ahead. But I'm trying my best here, hoping that I've picked the right route that would bring me to where I want to be. At present, other options don't seem to be able to fulfill that. I'm just praying that my hard work will eventually work out for the best.

Though I did regret letting go the recent chance that I had to work in Japan from some experts in the field, but it was only a 2 week thing. 2 week is just too short for me. I'm aiming for much more. I believe that the next chance will come to be again. I don't know, it's just a feeling that I have that I'm linked to Japan with some sort of invisible string.....haahahaa........

I didn't even realize that it's been more than 4 months since I've updated this blog. heehe, so.......student life has been really taxing. I'm up at 6am and in the lab at 7am till 5pm. Research work really takes up a lot of a person's time. I've cut down on my dance lessons too which I've already cut down since last year.

Yup, after 4 months, it seems that the writer in me is itching to write again.....all I need right now is just more time to think and some extra motivation. Lol.......
